Mouse kidney proximal tubules were isolated with Percoll density gradient separation as described previously55 (link). Confluent cells were treated with control oligonucleotides (ODN) or with selective 5 mM TLR9 agonist ligand ODN1668 (InvivoGen, CA) for 3 days as described56 (link). Some cells were pretreated with MNPs encapsulating ODN2088 (87 ng ODN2088/mg MNPs) 30 min before control ODN or ODN1668 treatment. We then performed caspase 3 and caspase 8 immunoblotting as described51 (link).

1,8-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)-3,6-dioxoctane (CPTEG) and 1,6-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)hexane (CPH) monomers were synthesized as previously described (34 (link), 47 (link)). 20:80 CPTEG:CPH copolymer was synthesized as previously described (47 (link)). 20:80 CPTEG:CPH nanoparticles containing 2% CpG (ODN 1668, Invivogen, San Diego, CA) and/or 1% RSV prefusion F (DS-Cav1, a gift from Dr. Jason McLellan, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX) were synthesized via solid-oil-oil double emulsion (43 (link)). Briefly, copolymers, RSV F, and CpG were dissolved at a polymer concentration of 20 mg/mL in methylene chloride. The solution was sonicated for 30 s and precipitated into chilled pentane. The resulting nanoparticles were collected via vacuum filtration and their morphology and size were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (FEI Quanta 250, FEI, Hillsboro, OR).

Culturing Leukocytes with CpG Stimuli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total leukocyte populations from spleen or blood were cultured at 20°C in L-15 medium supplemented with antibiotics and 5% FCS in 24 or 96-well plates (Nunc). Different stimuli were added to the media and cells were incubated for different time periods depending on specific experiments. The phosphorothioate-modified B class CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) 1668 (InvivoGen) containing one CpG dinucleotide (CpG) (5′-tccatgaCGttcctgatgct-3′) was used at a final concentration of 5 μM after having determined the optimal concentration based on their positive effect on B cell survival, specifically choosing the concentration that provoked the higher B cell survival after 72 h of incubation (data not shown). The non-CpG ODN 1668 (that contains GpC dinucleotides instead of CpGs) (5′-tccatgaGCttcctgatgct-3′) was used as a negative control (non-CpG) at the same concentration. In some experiments, leukocytes were stimulated with an unlabeled monoclonal antibody (mAb) against trout IgM (clone 1.14, mouse IgG1) (20 (link)) at a final concentration of 10 μg/ml as previously described (5 (link)). Non-stimulated controls were always included.

After Columbia University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approval, 8–10 week old male TLR9 proximal tubule deficient (TLR9fl/fl PEPCK Cre) mice or control wild type (TLR9fl/fl) mice weighing 20–25g were anesthetized with pentobarbital i.p. (Sigma, St Louis, MO: 50 mg/kg body weight or to effect). Mice were then subjected to right nephrectomy and 30 min left renal ischemia as described previously (37 , 38 (link)). A separate cohort of TLR9fl/fl mice or renal tubular TLR9 null mice were pretreated with a selective TLR9 agonist (1 mg/kg ODN-1668 or control ODN, Invivogen, San Diego, CA) and subjected to 20 min renal IR injury. Some mice were treated with vehicle for ODN (saline) before 20 min renal ischemia. To determine the effects of global TLR9 deletion in ischemic AKI, we also subjected TLR9 knockout mice (TLR9KO, C57BL/6JTlr9M7Btlr/Mmjax) and their wild type controls (C57BL/6J mice (B6)) to 30 min renal IR injury (Jackson Labs, Bar Harbor, ME). For pain management, all mice received 0.5–1 mg/kg s.c. buprenorphine SR prior to surgery. Sham-operated animals underwent anesthesia followed by laparotomy, right nephrectomy, bowel manipulations and wound closure without renal ischemia. Body temperature of all mice were sustained at ~37°C using a surgical heating pad during surgery as well as during recovery from anesthesia.

Synthesis and Characterization of CPTEG:CPH Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Monomers based on 1,8-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)-3,6-dioxoctane (CPTEG) and 1,6-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)hexane (CPH) were synthesized as described previously (30 (link), 31 (link)) Using these monomers, 20:80 CPTEG:CPH copolymer was synthesized using melt polycondensation for ~6 h, as described (31 (link)). The final copolymer composition, purity, and molecular weight of the copolymer were characterized using 1H HNMR (DXR 500, Bruker, Billerica, MA). Next, 20:80 CPTEG:CPH nanoparticles containing 1% H1 HA, 1% NP, and 2% CpG1668 were synthesized via solid-oil-oil double emulsion (32 (link)). Briefly, HA and NP protein antigens (Sino Biological, Beijing, China) were dialyzed to nanopure water and lyophilized overnight. The 20:80 CPTEG:CPH copolymer, along with HA, NP, and CpG (ODN 1668, Invivogen, San Diego, CA), was dissolved at a polymer concentration of 20 mg/mL in methylene chloride. The solution was sonicated for 30 s and then precipitated into chilled pentane (at a methylene chloride:pentane ration of 1:250). The resulting nanoparticles were collected via vacuum filtration and scanning electron microscopy (FEI Quanta 250, FEI, Hillsboro, OR) was used to characterized morphology and size.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) 1668 (5′-tccatgacgttcctgatgct-3′) is the B-class unmethylated CpG dinucleotide specific for mouse Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), strongly activates B cells but weakly IFN-α secretion. ODN 1668 was obtained from InvivoGen (Toulouse, France) and it was tested here with 183preS1(20–47) VLPs for the packaging. ODN packaging was performed according to the method described in [66 (link)] with the use of RNase and urea. For packaging the following mix was prepared: 50 µg/12,5 µL of VLPs in PBS + 100 µg/10 µL RNaseA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, cat. No R1253) + 50 µL 1 M urea in water + 7 µg/30 µL ODN 1668 in water. The packaging mix was incubated at room temperature overnight.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
